Where
The farm “4 Linden” is located in Vetschau, in the north-west of Aachen. It is a living and ecological cohabitation that is developing since more than 30 years. It was built by the architect and sculptor Andreas Dilthey and is now further developed by him and Jana Koppert. There are some permanent inhabitants, including many animals, such as donkeys, sheep, goats, chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, dog, a cat, mice, as well as bee colonies. The houses are situated among numerous fruit trees, herbs, flowers and vegetables!
